Mets are win now. I don't think they are going to trade Noah unless they move Bruce's salary so they can also sign Harper to the OF.

They ain't winning anything without a better C..CF and a huge (not just Diaz) overhaul think 3 or 4 arms in what was the mlbs worst BP in 18...

Owner is cheapish..and if Noah can be traded to fix 2 or 3 MLB roster spots with Big or potentially huge upgrades they are going to do it..Hedges + Margot (or even Renfroe) = big upgrades to their everyday lineup..they are also too lefty unbalanced ..which is another thing they need to balance with at least a +2 swing of righties..in their roster..

The owner got hosed out of 900M in a scheme. He's using an asset to make that up. Something all of us would do.

Bullpen arms are widely available. Starting pitching is not.
I also think you're under valuing their roster and overvaluing the Padres. Nimmo, Conforto, and Cespedes is solid. Matz, Noah, deGrom... that's killer. They won 78 games with a lot of injuries and poor performances. If they get Cano, that's awesome for them, and they haven't spent a buck yet in Free Agency.

The top overall selection from the 2008 draft, it appeared that Beckham was finally on the verge of a breakthrough after his strong finish to the 2017 season. He entered the 2018 campaign with a secure starting job for the first time in his career, but floundered, slashing just .230/.287/.374 with 12 homers and 35 RBI in 402 plate appearances. There's always someone willing to gamble on talent, so Beckham should attract interest once again on the open market.
